Marcus Aurelius Ceasar

Not EVERYONE who was an emperor of the Roman empire ran around fucking horses and what not.

Marcus Aurelius was the nice old bloke in "Gladiator".


The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
- Marcus Aurelius

The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth you have given away.
- Marcus Aurelius

The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious.
- Marcus Aurelius

The sexual embrace can only be compared with music and with prayer.
- Marcus Aurelius

The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.
- Marcus Aurelius

To the wise, life is a problem; to the fool, a solution.
- Marcus Aurelius

Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late; the good lived yesterday.
- Marcus Aurelius

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.
- Marcus Aurelius

We ought to do good to others as simply as a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine bears grapes season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne.
- Marcus Aurelius

Whatever the universal nature assigns to any man at any time is for the good of that man at that time.
- Marcus Aurelius

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
- Marcus Aurelius

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
- Marcus Aurelius
